I don't know why I am always amazed when God answers prayer.  You would think that I would be use to it by now, after 20 plus years of walking with him and seeing him work, but still I find myself surprised by his miracles. 

I was looking through a journal of mine today, one that I wrote back in January of this year.  I listed the area's that the enemy was attacking, where the warfare was the fiercest and also the words that I heard from my Lord that day as to where my energies should be and how I was to fight those battles. 

As I reviewed this, it became rapidly apparent that God has been leading me in the last three months in exactly those areas he revealed to me back then that I needed to go.  What was even more astonishing though was that almost none of those areas of warfare are an issue any longer, they have mostly all been resolved!  And me ... I'm like 'really Lord, you really took care of those things?'  They were such huge issues, such difficult areas, and He has just poured out his grace over everyone of them.  All I can say is wow!

And then a few weeks ago I was on a message board, and a gentleman had a child with a tumor found in her brain.  They were concerned that it may be cancer.  I prayed as did others, and a few days later he reports that the doctors say there is nothing there now!  Really? 

But why does that surprise me?  I mean, I honestly do believe great things from God.  But still, when he acts, I am humbled and shocked and thrilled all at the same time.

Yesterday I was discussing Ephesians 3:19 with some friends.  In it Paul prays that we would know that love of God that surpasses knowledge -- that we would be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.  Now that would be an awesome thing, wouldn't it?  To know not just about God, but to know him, intimately, in such a way that we are filled with the fullness of God, the completeness of God.  That we would know him in such a way that his power flows through us?

Paul knew we would have doubts, so he concludes:  'Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine ...' (Eph 3:20)

We do doubt, it is the nature of the Fall.  And so Jesus, as he teaches on the persistent widow, that we should approach God with that same tenacity of never giving up until he blesses us, until we have all that he is, Jesus asks :But 'when the son of man comes, will he find faith on the earth?' (Luke 18:8. 

That's it, isn't it ... Faith!  That belief in something that is not seen.  That hope in something that doesn't make sense in the natural.  Of course it will be a wow!  Even Jesus, after sending out the seventy in Luke chapter 10 and hearing their reports on how mightily God had used them, could hardly contain himself.  "...Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit said, 'I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed then to little children.'" (Luke 10:21).

And so all I can do is say, 'more Lord!'  I doubt this life, this Knight Life will ever get boring.  I suppose that it will always be a 'Wow!'
